Might this be happening because of my old hardware?

@falcon-z

Intel 4 Series Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel 
  bus-ID: 00:02.0 chip-ID: 8086:2e32 class-ID: 0300

Try kernel 5.4.

For me i prefer Pointer to scale and mouse tracking to push i find it better that way.

Maybe that’s what’s causing the issue? Could you try turning that off temporarily???

That’s as far as it goes answering your questions, but a few additional things I did for my dad:

• Bought him a new 52" TV (as his condition is deteriorating)
• Used his old 32" FHD TV to replace his 24" monitor
• set it to HD resolution (1280x720)
• still gave him the zoom option with the whole Ctrl+Alt+Z thing…

(maybe those tips will help you too)
